one photo, three ideas

today at scrappn was at my house,  Kerry had the great idea that Debbie, herself and i should scrapbook the same photo of the three of us, worrisome as us three girls can be quite competitive (mostly Debbie!). 

Anyhow here are our three layouts

Debbies

Kerrys

and mine

they all turned out so very different.  catch ya xx

Happy Mothers Day xx

Happy Mothers Day to all my lovely blog readers and big hugs to those who mothers day isnt quite as happy as it can be.  I remember my first mothers day with out Josh, he had died three day before and it sucked BIG time But I have two WONDERFUL kids who make me feel like the best mum ever!

Yesterday was National Scrapbooking day, which is odd because really it is International Scrapbooking day and did I scrap?  oh yes I did  Megan over at Better Scrapbooking ran a online challenge and I uploaded my photos this morning but here they are so you can see first hand. 

This first layout Megan gave us a sketch to copy and this is what I did,  I used a lace cardstock I brought from the warehouse as my stencil and sprayed it with Glimmer Mist, I am sooo happy with how it turned out
of course these photos are quite old and before Josh got sick, what cute boys I have x

lol more sibling pictures but so up to date, take at Easter, at you guessed it Hine's wedding. Anyway Megan gave us another sketch and this is what I did....

Last challenge I entered was one that used stitching,  I hand stitched up the side of this layout, I really wanted Geo to stand out so used alot of red to zoom your eye in.... hope it worked

And this last layout I didn't enter online but I worked on it for a couple of days,  This is my Father In Law who passed away many years ago.  I do love this photo, we don't have many so every one is special (and I did more spraying with glimmer mist can you see what my latest addiction is)

I hope you all have a wonderful day I know Im going too, one of my presents today was from my darling son and his oh so clever girlfriend (who knew what to buy me) was a dymo label maker,  I have been looking at layouts for MONTHS now that have labels used for journaling and thinking I wish I had one of those but have not got around to getting one yay now I have one, thanks Scott and Mel you rock xx chris

Monday with Eilish making Mothers Day cards (and did you know I made my mum an awesome card popped it in the post so it would make it on time and pooh forgot to take a photo).  Tuesday was spent with my dear friend Kerry cleaning out her shop (well not anymore hurrah!!).  Wednesday mmmmm ok Thursday ooh thats easy I went into ccf (child cancer foundation) to drop off 18 sweet adorable trays of chocolate ready for our mothers day mini pamper day on monday.  If you want to see this is the link to kerrys trade me listings too sweet too she has some yum stuff and some delish tins just right for scrapbooking stuff!  Layouts well here is yet another from the wedding :)
